1. A remote control system, comprising:
a sensor configured to output distance information indicating a distance to an object located in a detection area; and
a control device configured to control an operation of a device to be controlled based on a fact that the distance information satisfies prescribed conditions that include:
a first condition that the distance exhibits a change corresponding to an entry of the object into the detection area; and
a second condition that the distance maintains a first value for at least a first time length after the first condition is satisfied; and
a condition that a change of the distance including a monotonic decrease from the first value and a subsequent monotonic increase to a second value is finished within a second time length, wherein a difference between the first value and the second value is no greater than a threshold value,
wherein the prescribed conditions further include a third condition that a change of the distance including a monotonic decrease from the first value and a subsequent monotonic increase to a second value is finished within a second time length after the second condition is satisfied, wherein a difference between the first value and the second value is no greater than a threshold value.
